Blake Shelton Shares How Gwen Stefani Has Helped Strengthen His Faith

Blake Shelton has shared how Gwen Stefani has helped strengthen his faith. In an interview, the country music star mentioned how his faith has grown recently and the role his wife and fellow musician, Gwen, has played in that.

Hollywood is typically not a place where faith is openly discussed or shared. For the most part, entertainers are usually tight-lipped regarding matters of faith. If they do share their thoughts and opinions on faith and religion, it’s usually to denigrate or put down those who do have faith and believe in God.

However, during a recent interview with singer-songwriter Kelleleigh Bannen, the host of the Kelleliegh Bannen Show, the topic of faith came up during a conversation with Blake Shelton. She asked the former The Voice judge if he has experienced any change in his faith, given his age, his mid-40s.

Blake was quick to respond, saying that it has grown considerably as of late. He was also quick to say that he credits his growth in his faith to one person: his wife, Gwen Stefani.

“Yeah, I would say that, and that comes from Gwen’s influence, you know?” Blake said. “Gwen in, you know, I’ve learned so much from her and she’s really the person that’s helped me kind of, you know, of get in touch with my faith, and gets serious about it, it’s not just something that you say at an awards show.”

Later in the clip, he mentioned how Gwen has pushed him to constantly think about and consider his faith. He said that she always sees the hand of God in everything around her.

“And it’s really special to be around her because it’s, her faith is alive, and it’s incredible to be around her,” he said. “And she’s so happy about it, and she loves to share it to anybody that’ll listen, and it’s inspiring to be around her.”

1 Peter 2:21 “This is God’s purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps.”

Party Invite Led to Beautiful Moment Between a Little Girl and Her Bus Driver

A party invite resulted in a beautiful moment between a little girl and her bus driver. The little girl went out of her way to make the elderly man feel welcomed and loved. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see the adorable moment between the two.

Children are some of the most honest people you’ll ever encounter. They are often brutally honest and blunt, typically not beating around the bush, but getting right to the point and stating how they feel, regardless of how someone takes it. If you want an honest assessment or opinion, ask a child, but just be prepared for what you may hear.

Another trait that most children have is their immense capacity to show love, kindness and concern for others. Many will go out of their way to talk to someone, especially if it’s an individual who appears to be all alone. They will be friends with someone who doesn’t seem to have friends. That is precisely what happened in one adorable clip posted on YouTube.

In the video, it’s explained that the young woman was having a party to celebrate her graduation from kindergarten. With it being her party, she probably had a fair amount of control over the guest list. One of the people who received an invite to her shindig was her school bus driver.

The video shows the little girl and the elderly bus driver interacting and conversing. However, the video does not show everything as the narrator explains that the child did everything she could to make the man feel like he belonged.

The man narrating the clip mentions that the child stayed with the older gentleman the entire time he was at the party. She exhibited great concern, love and kindness. How sweet is that?

Philippians 2:4 “Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.”

McDonald’s Employee Shows Incredible Kindness and Is Instantly Rewarded

A McDonald’s employee shows incredible kindness and is instantly rewarded in a way she never expected. Some stories are soft like sunrise. They slip in when you least expect them, wrapping themselves around your heart before you even realize you’re weeping. This one began with a humble question, a Happy Meal, and a woman in a McDonald’s uniform who just wanted to be kind.

She was working the window, the kind of everyday hero we don’t often notice—hair pulled back, shirt tucked in, wearing the grease and grace of a fast food shift. Maybe she’d had a hard morning. Maybe rent was due. Maybe her feet ached in shoes that had lost their cushion months ago. But still, she smiled.

When she walked out to the car to deliver one of the meals they had ordered, she expected to deliver it and walk back to her work. But then the question came, a bit sideways. “Could we borrow $10 for a Happy Meal?” the dad asked gently. Her eyebrows furrowed, unsure. Borrow money from her? At her job? But then—then she looked, really looked, and saw the sweetness in the family. The little one’s hopeful eyes were sitting in the backseat. Something softened. Without hesitation, she nodded and said, “I’ll buy it for you.”

Kindness is just like that: quiet, unassuming, and willing, with no questions and no judgment—just love.

She turned to walk away to cover the cost with her card. But then—she heard it: “Wait. Don’t go.” She paused, thinking maybe he wanted to change the order. Maybe he was embarrassed. Instead, he handed her a handful of cash. A total of $1,000. He looked her in the eye and said, “It was a test. We just wanted to see if someone would help.” And she passed.

Oh, how she passed—with flying colors of grace and compassion. Her hand trembled as she held the cash. Tears brimmed, but she blinked them back. Because sometimes the world surprises you, and when it does, you don’t want to miss a single second of it.

McDonald’s workers are paid decently, but we all know decently isn’t the same as “enough.” And yet, she was willing to give what little she had, simply to show love. It’s these moments that heal the world. The small, unseen decisions to be generous. The yes when it would’ve been easier to say no. The instinct to see people not for what they can give, but for who they are. She was willing to help, and what she received in return was a gift. She received hope. Kindness always comes back, always multiplies, and always matters. And sometimes it shows up in the form of nuggets and apple slices, with $1,000 in thank-you tucked quietly behind it.

Let’s be those people. The ones who see. The ones who stop. The ones who say yes. The ones who change the world, one small act at a time.

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over…” Luke 6:38

This Couple Turns Date Nights Into Moments of Spiritual Growth

Who knew date nights could include coffee and reading the Bible? This couple turns date nights into moments of spiritual growth. We’ve heard it repeatedly—“Don’t stop dating your spouse.” That phrase gets tossed around like wedding confetti—meant to stick, meant to shine, but often forgotten once real life hits. The laundry piles up. The kids fight over cereal. The dishes become mountains, and your conversations become more about schedules and bills than dreams and devotions. 

But what if dating your spouse didn’t have to be so glittery? What if the secret to joy in your marriage wasn’t always about candlelit restaurants or shaved legs, but something deeper and more sacred?

That’s exactly what Faith and her husband are discovering. And it might just be the sweetest thing you’ll see all day. Faith is a Christian mom, a seminary student, a pastor’s wife, and a woman who isn’t afraid to go deep. She’s not in it for surface-level living or shallow faith. Her heart beats for the richness of Scripture and the closeness of Christ. 

In her world, date night looks a little different. It starts with gathering their supplies—journals, Bibles, highlighters—because when the Word of God is involved, even date night becomes holy. Then they head to grab coffee, not to check off a box or make an Instagram-worthy moment, but to sit side by side, Bibles open, hearts open, listening.

Together, they nerd out over theology, underline verses, pause to share what they’re learning, and take notes on what God is whispering to their hearts. There's laughter, tears, and a deep connection that comes from pursuing the Lord together. They’re not just dating—they’re growing. They’re building a marriage that doesn’t rely on fancy dinners but on the rock-solid foundation of Scripture. That kind of dating is more romantic than roses and more intimate than candles. It’s two souls leaning in toward God and each other. 

There’s something so beautiful, so sacred, about flipping through pages of truth while sipping coffee and holding the hand of the one who promised to walk life beside you. This kind of intentionality doesn’t just make for sweet afternoons—it builds the kind of marriage that weathers storms and shines light into dark places.

Maybe you’re craving that kind of connection, too. Maybe your soul is longing not just for a break from the kids or a fun night out, but for something deeper, and something holy. Maybe what your marriage needs most isn’t another dinner out, but an invitation back to God’s Word, together.

When you sit down with your spouse and open the Bible, you’re not just spending time, and you’re sowing seeds. As you read and reflect and pray and laugh over the notes scribbled in the margins, you’ll find that the bond between you deepens in ways that last longer than dessert or movie tickets.

As Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” That third strand? It’s Jesus. And when He’s wrapped right in the middle of your love story, your marriage becomes something rare, beautiful, and unbreakable. So grab the coffee, open the Word, and make a date—not just with each other, but with the One who makes your love story sacred.

Ecclesiastes 4:12 “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

80-Year-Old Graduates from College, Proving It’s Never Too Late to Learn

An 80-year-old graduated from college and has proven that it’s never too late to learn. The elderly gentleman participated in the graduation ceremonies, where he walked across the stage and picked up his diploma. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see the man graduate from college and fulfill his promise.

We all get a little older with every passing day, hour, minute and second.  As much as people may try to slow down and even reverse time, it stops for no one. So, because time continually marches forward, aging is a process that impacts everyone.

Since aging can’t be stopped or avoided, we have two options. We can either fret and worry about aging and allow it to keep us from enjoying the time God has given us. Or we can use our time on this Earth and make the most of it. Time is our most precious commodity, and once it’s gone, we’ll never get it back. We won’t be able to recover a single second of lost time.

A clip posted on YouTube shows an elderly gentleman, an 80-year-old man, who decided to use the time he’d been given for something good and worthwhile. Linwood Riddick demonstrated that no one is too old to learn something new. He graduated from South Carolina State University. That special, heartwarming and tear-jerking moment was the fulfillment of a promise he had made to himself.

The video mentions that Linwood was forced to put his educational aspirations on hold because of his military service and because of segregation. But he persevered, saw it through, walked across that stage and became a college graduate!

He looks as if he’s about to tear up! Linwood can serve as an inspiration to others, proving that we are never too old to learn something new.

Ecclesiastes 7:12 “Wisdom keeps a man from danger even as money does; but the value of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to its owner.”

What Happened at This Gas Pump Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity

What happened at this gas pump will restore your faith in humanity. The young woman could not believe the love and kindness someone had shown her and immediately turned to God to thank Him. Watch the short but moving clip to see the tear-jerking act of kindness and love.

The world is often a cold, cruel and lonely place. Most people possess a dog-eat-dog mentality and only care about themselves and no one else. We see this kind of thinking on display everywhere we look—from government leaders, in the workplace, on the news and on social media. For many people, it’s almost like other people and their needs are a hindrance and an obstacle to them. 

However, when we stop thinking about only ourselves and our well-being, and consider someone else, we can make a world of difference in their lives. A clip posted on YouTube shows an unexpected, heartwarming act of kindness and how it greatly impacted them and their situation.

In the video, a young woman stands at the front of her car, which is sitting next to a gas pump. She frantically counts her dollars and change, looking extremely worried, wondering how she will pay for the gas she desperately needs. As she does this, a second woman slowly and quietly comes up behind her and places the gas pump she was using into her car. Once she puts the pump in the young woman’s car, she turns away and leaves the scene. She did not stay around to be thanked or recognized for her good deed.

Once the young woman turns around and sees what has happened, she cannot believe it and looks around for the person who might have done it. 

But that is not all.

After her gas tank is full and she returns the handle to the correct pump, she breaks down in tears and immediately thanks the Lord for providing for her.

What a sweet and powerful moment that will likely bring a tear or two to your eyes.

Philippians 2:4 “Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.”

Young Man Delivers Powerful Message About Trusting God’s Timing

A young man delivered a powerful message about trusting God’s timing. His insightful comments and moving words likely hit very close to home for many people. Watch the short but compelling clip to hear what the young man had to say about trusting God’s timing and waiting on Him.

No one enjoys waiting for anything. Some people believe that if they have to wait for anything at any moment, it’s already been too long. We want it and everything else right now!

Patience is, without a doubt, in short supply today. If you’ve ever been in a restaurant when someone has had to wait longer than expected for their food to arrive, you know this to be 100 percent true. Being patient and waiting for things to develop and happen is something we all struggle with at one time or another, especially when it comes to waiting on God.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one young man perfectly states how difficult it is to wait on God. His timetable rarely aligns with ours, which is often frustrating. But His timing is perfect, and as the young man shares, God is still at work, preparing us for when that opportunity or situation arrives.

“Because while you’re waiting, God is working,” he said. “While you’re trusting, God is transforming – not just your situation but you. Waiting isn’t punishment. God’s not making you wait just to make it hard. No, he’s making you wait to make you ready.”

Later in the clip, the young man points to a verse in Ecclesiastes, which mentions God’s timing.

“The Bible says God makes everything beautiful in His time,” he said. God knows what He’s doing. He knows the right time, the right place, the right person, the right answers to all of your prayers.”

What powerful and insightful words about trusting the Lord’s timing and being patient with Him who knows best.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 “He has made everything beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.”

Discovering and Experiencing God’s Peace During Life’s Toughest Moments

One man shared how to experience God’s peace, which surpasses all understanding and knowledge, during life’s toughest moments. He recalled a near-devastating incident involving his daughter to help illustrate his point about peace amid the storm. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear about obtaining and experiencing God’s peace.

As you have probably already figured out, life is not always easy. No one’s life on Earth is all roses and rainbows. There will be and are instances that will push you to your very limits. Your faith will be stretched and tested – never a fun or easy experience.

But, as the Bible states in Philippians 4,  having peace amid the storm is possible. God provides a “deeper than all knowledge” peace that “will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” In a clip posted on YouTube, one man mentions a scary incident in which he nearly lost his daughter to make a point about God’s peace.

After he grabbed the back of his young daughter’s lifejacket right before she was swept out to sea, she curled up into his arms, holding on tightly. He then reassured her that everything would be OK. She had found peace during what was a scary and frightening ordeal.

“There’s nowhere I can go that God is not with me,” he said. “There’s nowhere I can go that I’m beyond his reach. My friend, even on your worst day, you are not alone.”

Later in the clip, he mentions one thing that would completely change our perspective and lives if we did it.

“And if we could just live with the conviction that we serve an ever-present God, it would change the way that we live,” he said. “We would live with greater confidence, more peace and a deeper sense of joy, no matter our circumstances, because we know we’re not in those circumstances alone.”

What an incredibly powerful and insightful statement!

John 16:33 “I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.”
